As the leaves change, a chill fills the air, and the days grow shorter, our taste buds naturally begin to crave comforting foods with richer flavors, earthy undertones, and warm spices. Ice cream may not be the first thing that comes to mind—but why not? It’s rich, creamy, and comforting all on its own. Add in swirls of caramel, clusters of nuts, and pieces of pie crust, and it practically screams fall. Though cold to the touch, many flavors and presentations bring a sense of warmth to both the palate and the soul. Here’s a roundup of our favorite fall ice cream creations.
Pumpkin pie, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread—but have you tried pumpkin ice cream? Imagine your favorite Thanksgiving pie on a cone. San Bernardo’s super-premium Pumpkin Ice Cream instantly transports you to that cozy moment by the fireplace, wrapped in your favorite sweater, surrounded by the scent of grandma’s kitchen. Each scoop is rich with pumpkin flavor, warm spices, ribbons of marshmallow and bits of yummy pie crust. Who needs pie when you can have it frozen and spoon-ready?
Beyond pumpkin spice, mamey is fall’s must have fruity flavor. Falling somewhere between tropical fruit and autumn comfort food, it’s a perfect fit for the season. Imagine a blend of sweet potato, pumpkin, and almond with hints of honey, vanilla, and spice. San Bernardo’s SB Mamey Magic is naturally warming, slightly nutty, and irresistibly creamy. It pairs beautifully with pies and cobblers or is a cozy fall indulgence all on its own.
Black cherry invites a touch of elegance to the table. The rich, tart, and deeply fruity notes of black cherry ice cream pair beautifully with warm seasonal spices and classic autumn flavors. Enjoy a scoop alongside a decadent chocolate cake or brownie for the ultimate comfort pairing or elevate it with a splash of bourbon for a touch of sophistication. San Bernardo’s SB Super Premium Black Cherry is packed with luscious burgundy cherry pieces that make every bite burst with flavor.

No need to wait for October 31st to eat your peanut butter cups. As neighborhoods fill with jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, and skeletons, candy is on everyone’s mind. The more, the merrier, so it’s no surprise that an ice cream packed with the season’s most popular treat is a fan favorite. SB Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Swirl is loaded to the max and comes with all the treats, no tricks.
Butter Pecan’s buttery, nutty profile makes it an ideal comfort flavor for cooler weather. It’s delicious served alongside a warm slice of apple pie or cobbler, but just as satisfying enjoyed on its own. Each bite is creamy and decadent, with the toasted pecans delivering a satisfying, slightly caramelized crunch.
Yay or nay on candy corn? Whether you’re a die-hard fan or not, a sundae inspired by this tri-colored classic is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Start with SB Mamey Magic, add a scoop of creamy, bold SB Banana, and finish with SB Pumpkin—it’s Halloween gone tropical.
Fall festivities provide endless excuses to indulge in your favorite frozen treat—and to have a little extra fun while doing it. So next time you pour a hot cider, don’t forget to invite your favorite scoop along too.
